The Government did not pull the rug out. Yes, there was £700k that wasn't given this year - this was a one off payment that happened last year and last year alone - it should not have been assumed that they would get it again. Yet, even without that £700k - the government actually gave more to HBC this year than last!!!!! |
Re: Council Overspend
Personally can't see the problem myself. The overspend will be made up in the council tax next year. As we all know from andrew, we get excellent value for money and therefore the more money we pay the more value we will get. We should count ourselves lucky. :)

Re: Council Overspend
I often browse these "council" related threads without comment 'cause it's none of my business and a lot of it I don't understand. But I am curious about this one. For starters, the five or so million dollar shortfall does not seem all that large to be concerned about; it's about half of what Kingston City Council budgets for snow removal. And our snow removal budget could, like last winter, go way over if there is more snow than normal; and none of us get flustered about it. And I am curious about what Hyndburn council actually does, what its responsibilities and powers are. How big is the council budget? Is council responsible for road maintaniance? Who pays for policing? Etc.:confused:

Simply putting it how it is, we'd be in the same mess under the other lot because they didn't do anything different budget wise. Not that this makes it ok. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. |

Both parties had a chance to get elected the majority in May. So the Conservatives create a budget in Feb. The Labour party create no alternative budget. The Conservatives get the elected majority. Theres a £2.3million overspend And you're telling me its all the Conservatives fault because they got the majority. I am telling you it would be no different under Labour - same budget. Where do we disagree? |
Re: Council Overspend
There seems to be a confusion of issues here (or maybe I'm naturally in a state of confusion). Is it a question of overspending, or of which political party is in power at the moment?
